Reference Resources

Reference resources are a great way for you to get a brief concept of a person, place, thing, or event. Using a reference resource can often tell you the main events of a person's life or the main parts of a battle. While your professor may not want you citing a general encyclopedia such as our Encyclopedia Britannica, some may allow you to cite more subject specific resources as described in the links below.

Get content from hundreds of reference books covering every major subject. There are over 3 million entries, 200,000+ images (art, diagrams, maps and photos), and over 100,000 audio pronunciation files and sound clips. The content is enriched by a network of cross-reference links that cut across topics and titles to give you accurate, contextual results.
